ACTS OF KINDNESS ABOUND - December19, 2010

ACTS OF KINDNESS ABOUND

"Thank you! Alexandria Country Day School (Students, Teachers, Principal, Staff and Parents) for reaching for the Top. You'll be with me all the way to the "roof top of Africa", Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft) with your school banner, Alexandria Country Day School, then on safari in the Serengeti and to all 5 Missions.

You'll travel with me by bus, train, car and plane to all 5 Missions you so generously donated to. Carrying your school banner in my suitcase will give me the warmth of your hearts, the inspiration of your minds, and the kindness of your souls. The children of Africa wait your arrival.

I wish each of you a blessed Christmas. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your Act of Kindness to the Children of Africa."
